University Park posts YMCA project details, prepares for public hearing

Plans to build a new, bigger Park Cities YMCA building will be up for discussion at a public hearing in University Park this week. And for those who are curious, details and renderings of the project are now available.

Floor plans, descriptions and more have been posted to the city’s website. The project is up for a public hearing and review at the city’s Planning and Zoning Commission meeting.

The project would add an underground parking garage and more square footage to the space-crunched YMCA. The proposed construction plans include two pools, a gymnasium, fitness area, classroom space and a kitchen and cafeteria.

Some residents in the area have expressed concerns about the plans, saying it may increase congestion in the area.

The public hearing will be held at University Park City Hall on Tuesday at 5 pm. Stay tuned for more coverage.
